tonight an arctic turkey gives the green light to military operations beyond the country's borders after wednesday's deadly shelling from syrian territory. as the west rushes to blame president assad for the cross border violence moscow calls for restraint from both sides in our lives the lack of global condemnation for the terrorism has killed dozens of them left the. south and says protesters stormed the greek defense ministry there in the latest show of despair in the struggling country.

ten pm thursday night in a moscow welcome if you just joined us this is r.t. live for the top stories my name's kevin owen first turkey's parliament saw throws the military to engage in cross border operations following the shelling of a town from syrian territory wednesday meanwhile tension on the borders worsening with turkey renewing its for talent tree shelling of its war torn neighbor for a second day middle east correspondent paula slee appreciate the latest. as expected the turkish parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favor of also wising military operations in syria what this does mean is that it now has given the green light for cross a border operations the deputy turkish prime minister has gone on record saying this is not a declaration of war but it certainly is sending out very warning messages now while this meeting of the parliament was being held in the capital city of vancouver outside and he was protesters were chanting slogans such as no to war the

syrians all our brothers used tear gas to disperse this crowd of antiwar demonstrators but certainly it's another sign of just how fluid and how intense the situation is at the moment turkey continue to fire artillery at syrian targets into the early hours of tuesday morning the exact extent of the turkish operation is still unclear but according to several sources there were several syrian soldiers who were killed in these military strikes the turks also called for an emergency meeting of of nature and that was held on wednesday night in brussels and also urging for the united nations to take action and necessary steps to stop what they are calling syrian aggression so certainly the turks again very quick to go on the offensive look syrian side they are urging restraint they have formally given condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed and at the same time that they have said they are launching an investigation it's still not clear

who exactly fired this water into turkish territory it did land in a residential building killing five members of one family and injuring another thirteen people. where their well turkey approved cross border patrol moscow's calling for calm on both sides are doing gauge in dialogue. as more of the russian foreign ministry is reaction the international community has. been quick to condemn the actions of syria but sergey lavrov a calling on a more reasonable diplomatic and restraint a reserve approach if you will he says that both sides are it's important for them to engage in dialogue specifically in the for the light of the recent events where turkey has approved military involvement to go across the border now he also says that if the syria is to blame for this incident on wednesday then they should make a public statement saying that as much now damascus has in turn stopped short of

claiming responsibility but it has said that this was a tragic mistake and is assured that they will work hard to try and prevent mistakes like this from happening in the future thoughts live from london now papadopoulos is there is publisher of politics first magazine mark is going to make now that turkey's authorized cross border operations how's that going to change the country's role in the syrian conflict do you think. well i think first and foremost it's important for us to take this opportunity to express our condolences to the victims or whatever is a tragic accident that occurred yesterday however i don't think it's fundamentally and it changed his position on this conflict i think it's more of a symbolic message it's more peace in certain sections of turkish society in particular the national nationalist section and of course the powerful military however turkey does not want to force scale conflict which syria it certainly can't

afford it i think was the development today by the turkish parliament authorizing a. cross border incursions into northern syria demonstrates that the conflict in syria has the potential to ignite the entire region into one big fireball and it would consume parts of turkey and i think turkey is very well aware of this but i would like to add something else as well that the decision by turkey today it is it is representatives. how consecutive turkish governments machine very aggressive foreign policy objectives we had last year and this year turkish government threaten in the republic of cyprus governments because the cypriot government found natural oil and gas reserves in it's in gigs crucifixion i'm excited and so i think today's more bouts of peace in certain sections of search sites it's more symbolic but on a war in notes it demonstrates once again how to answer because governments push use aggressively for policy objectives we've also seen this kind of things in

recent history books as well the not forgetting of course turkey making a similar move regarding northern iraq didn't it were its military hunted for kurdish militants how different is that from what syria is doing i pursue in suspected terrorists over the turkish border while the syrian government being the only legitimate administration in syria has every rights of the shoe terrorists on its territory however there's a difference issues terrorists on its territory has not threatened to go into turkey where the world knows there's training camps for the free syrian army so it's very different to what herc is saying and the decisions they part that's right it's actually parliament should actually be condemned it's a violation of state sovereignty it's a hostile aggressive act and i think it's important how you make reference to the no fly zone that so was in force after the gulf war when once he once he won in northern iraq it was emotionally as iron could into force by the american and

british governments for the tried to get through and apart from turkey you know there were british and five american fighter planes from patrol over northern iraq and they were passed by turkish aircraft that were going to bomb kurdish this is since places in north in northern iraq so the whole idea that it was a notional isotope in northern iraq was absolutely preposterous marcus' by. to get up today to get you touched on it just now if you think turkey's reaction to what syria play was what you say is what was a tragic accident was proportionate by firing on syrian targets for two days then. it was completely disproportionate what happened yesterday would appear to have been a tragic accident it was an accident there was no intent if there was a syrian government. forces that fired this show also it was an accident a terrible accident but it was an accident it was no intent however what circuit did yesterday and the small in there was intense they intended to fire shells into

a sovereign country and now that's a violation of state sovereignty and should be condemned unequivocally at the united nations so the big question now is this an isolated flare up is are going to die down over the next couple of days or could it grow into something bigger i gueth. fear ethically because in the middle west in the middle east it could certainly grow ensues something shaft far more potent however as i said earlier turkey doesn't it would be very cautious about saying gauge in syria in a full blown conflict remember so he has a sizable kurdish population that could explode in turkey suppose should it in cage syria in a war i that are i think it will probably it may happen again but i don't think turkey in syria all will come to war over this spotless publisher of politics first in london thanks ever so much and we will of course of the as well on the situation

in syria and turkey we get a lot of guests in to talk about to get their views and bring them to you will bring you more opinion on this as in the coming hours. some other news tonight now there's only a month of course left before the u.s. electors new president barack obama or mitt romney of just made it through their first presidential debate jule last night but the latest c.n.n. poll shows the incumbent was taking a beating artie's got it if you can follow the debate. mr romney did seem more alert he actually did better than many thought he would considering all his gaffes and misfires in this election campaign he of course took advantage of the fact that the recovery under president obama has been slow the country is running a huge deficit gigantic debt more than sixteen trillion dollars that's one hundred four percent of the nation's g.d.p. the president's main argument was that mr romney wants to go back to the same policies that landed the u.s. and the world for that matter in the economic mess four years ago that everybody's still struggling to recover from so there was a lot of back and forth about who's going to be paying for what and how they both

gave different numbers citing different studies at some point it got kind of confusing but in general it looked as if one of them was saying he wants to raise taxes and the other one goes no he wants to raise taxes or we need regulation and the other one would say are you agree so in the context of this debate they agreed on a lot of things but the devil is of course in the details but as they tried to get into details the numbers is got even works and we still have two more debates in the coming weeks we'll hear more about the candidates foreign policy vision for now in most states president obama is leading in the polls although by a very small margin there are going pretty much six to neck but it's important to mention that in the us a candidate might win the majority of the popular vote and still lose the election because it's not the popular vote is the so-called electoral college that decides the outcome of the presidential election here every state gives the candidate a certain number of points and the winner has to collect the number two hundred

seventy points even if a candidate loses a state by just say three votes they get zero points that way it's a very peculiar electoral system which is not really about the will of the majority so not only are the americans stuck with just two choices because it's a two worst race system but they're also not guaranteed to get the president that the majority of american voters test their votes for one more thing almost. half of americans identify themselves as independents that's according to a gallup poll forty percent the fact of the matter is there are other candidates in this presidential election but they've been pushed out of these major debates so very few know anything about them they're not even on ballots in all states because different states have different requirements essentially designed to keep it at two horse race. got to teach a couple things spiced up when romney it weighed into the president's plan to cut the military budget for we could ignite tional security but the director of the couple of america group believes that when it comes to real combat power the line

between them gets blurred they're not very different at all you know president obama has been the drone commander in chief uses kill more people drones and we could ever imagine george bush or don he started wars in in a country like libya where there was no u.n. mandate no congressional leaders that i was on afghanistan and iran even doing the same thing is they're both taking you know nothing on the table as far as attacking iran they both see russia and obama's and sort of graham obama's also in circle china he's also increase their military presence the united states in africa through. all these military issues and they're both aggressive supporter of the u.s. military empire and i don't say you know one of them are coming back the military is going way. another battle for the top job elsewhere in the row world venezuelan leader hugo chavez is going to face is a challenge you during a presidential vote. we explore the national media job that's doing the rounds

hello and welcome to the business update on our c.n.n. new hope for military aviation in russia has been veils the new illusion for seven six ounces you've got this kind of. we're right inside the idea of star aircraft factory in the square the brand new we use in seventy six m d ninety are constructed in fact one of them is being assembled as we speak so the two main things we need to be said about the surprise at this first of all it's being built on a base of a very well known edition seventy six which is been used for decades and is still widely used by the military and civil aviation in east asia and african nations in fact these planes are still used to deliver supplies to the alliance forces in afghanistan so it's already a very tested and reliable machine three quarters of the new aircraft had to be

redesigned including the engines the wings avionics the radio navigation equipment which make it go faster further carry more weight traditionally these planes are several times a less expensive then they're worth and. on a second ago what's happening on the markets today in the united states minutes have been released over the next fed meeting where it was revealed that the over the past year the fed has been investing state money into mortgage backed assets in order to help the ailing sector and apparently the fed has admitted that it was successful adding the latest job states out of the united states is boosting investor confidence as you see over in europe we're having a flat day after the e.c.b. decided to keep good its benchmark rate unchanged that point seven five percent and in russia we've had a third straight day of losses with the r.t.s. and the mice.
